White House spokesman Sean Spicer declined to answer a question Tuesday about whether Trump believes that Russian Federation meddled in the election.
The tweet from the president comes a day after former Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson testified before a Congressional committee.
State elections officials, who testified before the Senate committee, complained that DHS could have offered more information about the hacking.
"And: "... Why did the DNC REFUSE to turn over its Server to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and still hasn't?
Manfra and other officials testifying on Wednesday said U.S. elections are resilient to hacking in part because they are decentralised and largely operated on the state and local level.
Ousted FBI Director James Comey was asked about the DNC's decision during his high-profile appearance before the Senate Intelligence Committee earlier this month.
Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) pressed Johnson to say whether he believed there was collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian hackers, something a special prosecutor is now investigating.
Johnson described the steps he took once he learned of the hacking of the Democratic National Committee, his fears about an attack on the election itself and his rationale for designating US election systems, including polling places and voter registration databases, as critical infrastructure in early January, two weeks before Donald Trump's inauguration.
For months since then, however, Trump has been dismissive of several probes into Russian interference in the election, calling them a "witch hunt" and saying they are an excuse by Democrats to explain Clinton's defeat. Trump has variously said Russian Federation may or may not have been responsible for hacking but has dismissed allegations his associates colluded with Moscow as "fake news".

This includes the ability for players to capture 12 seconds of their own highlights using a single button press. Kaplan says that, from now on, loot boxes will simply award more credits to make up the difference.
Johnson also said he believes Russian attempts at influencing US elections is "going to get worse before it gets better and bad cyber actors all the time are more and more ingenious, more tenacious and more aggressive".
"The internet has allowed Russian Federation to do so much more today than they've ever been able to do in the past", Priestap said.
Johnson said he doesn't know whether the hacking of the Democratic National Committee's emails and other Moscow-directed interference "did in fact alter public opinion, and thereby alter the outcome of the presidential election".
Johnson told lawmakers that the Department of Homeland Security didn't perform an analysis after the election about whether the vote had been manipulated.
"In the initial descriptions of the commission, election security and the integrity of equipment and voter databases was not specifically described", Kobach said.
United States intelligence agencies have concluded the Kremlin orchestrated a wide-ranging influence operation that included email hacking and online propaganda to discredit Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and help Donald Trump, a Republican, win the White House in November.
Johnson told the House committee that states' election systems were "very vulnerable" and that was why he pushed to designate them as critical infrastructure during the election.
Johnson said Comey would not take this lightly.
American elections are highly decentralized.
